Food For Life

'Jesus replied “ I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again.Who ever believes in me will never be thirsty.”'John 6:35 (NLT)

Why, when there is food in the house, do we really ‘crave’ to eat what we do not not have! Often when we get what ever it is we ‘fancy’ to eat we realise it isn’t quite what we really wanted.

Deep within us there can be a dissatisfaction that we cannot fill, there always seems to be something missing, yet there is a hunger and a thirst.

Then along comes Jesus with these incredible words: “I am the bread of life.”

Jesus is what we are ‘craving’ deep within, he is the one finally and forever that can satisfy our deepest needs and longings.

Come to Jesus afresh today, feast on Him.

He has come to satisfy the deep hunger  within us and to bring His peace to our restless hearts.

In him we have everything we need.

Prayer of St Augustine:
You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you.
Amen.
